Do you think social anxiety should represented more in the media?

People are often able to care about what they see in the media, and this has got a lot of sympathy for people with various physical and mental problems and disabilities, but there is very little in the way of media on social anxiety, and it is rarely treated with much attention. I think that because of this, unless you have experience of it, either from yourself or someone close to you (and sometimes you don't even hear about it from them because of it) or they have an interest in psychology, it will go over most peoples heads. I think it is a problem that deserves some recognition and attention. A lot of people with social anxiety will be too afraid, due to the anxiety, to actually say anything about it, which is why I think it is such a difficult problem to deal with. I may be biased having experienced it myself, but I think it would be nice if people had more sympathy for it and did not alienate people because they don't always get what is wrong with them.
